Do them a real favor and tell them the truth: Tell them no matter what they do they are going to need a stinking attorney who will probably charge at least $145 an hour, never return your calls and will end up with more than the heirs. Also tell them that you are a very nice guy right now but when it comes time for you to handle the estate, you are going to be that above attorney.......

Thank you for sharing your opinion of my profession. Fortunately for you, I do not practice in Michigan and will not be providing you with any legal advice at any time for any price.

But just so you know, I have earned from $5,000 for an hour's work to no charge for a divorce for a homeless person, and everything in between. Ad whether it was the $5,000/hr or less, my clients have never complained about my work or my fees. You don't know me. And your opinion of me is really none of my business.

A piece of information for you .. JD is actually a very nice lady. In the meantime, take a look at what's actually been posted on this thread. It involves people being kind and civil to each other. Perhaps you had a bad experience with an attorney. But please don't judge someone you've never met who is trying to help others.

Those comments were totally uncalled for. If you had a bad experience with an attorney, take it out on them, don't paint the profession with that brush. I think an apology is in order to JD86 and all FReepers that have contributed to this thread.
